Remote Transmitter Lock/Unlock Control - Lock

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The remote transmitter feature requests that all the doors be locked when the door lock control switch LOCK button is pressed. On any press of the LOCK button with all doors closed the remote transmitter feature requests 1 flash of the parking lamps. If any door is ajar, no flash will occur. As soon as the last door is closed, the vehicle provides the 1 flash of the parking lamps. If 2 presses of the LOCK button are received within 3 seconds the horn chirps once, and the parking lamps flash twice to indicate that all the doors are closed and locked. If any door is ajar when the second lock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the remote transmitter feature requests the horn chirp twice without flashing the parking lamps to indicate it locked all the doors but 1 or more doors are ajar. When the key is in the ON or START position, no parking lamp flashes or horn chirp confirmations occur.
